How did you ladies get labor to progress? I need help. Im walking and let me tell you, it hurts like hell. I want it to start doing more. I want active labor. Lol. On Wednesday i was 3cm, 60-70% effaced. My cervix is soft and baby is head down and low. Lets get this show on the road.

Good luck to you Momma I have tried EVERYTHING!!! Castor oil, walking, sex, bouncing on the ball, all the teas, cookies, more walking, squats and well i have been having contractions and false labor for a month. If she doesn't come this weekend then induced on Monday morning. I'm also 2 really soft and 40% effaced

Try eating something really spicy! The night I went in to labor I had really spicy food.

I just made a fresh pineapple smoothie and put one teaspoon of castor oil in it and now I'm having contractions two minutes apart. I have a feeling these contractions will stop before its time to head to the hospital like all my other ones do :-/ I am two days overdue and ready for my lil man but he has until 1am to beat his sister's time haha. I think my kids just love my uterus or something!

Ive been having contractions. They got pretty close. But they have slowed. i want them to stay close. I wish there was a way to get my water to break. Lol. I keep getting a feeling like it might but im sure im just losing my mind. Lol.

angel26

I have gotten very irritated with the last few hours. Ive been very very uncomfortable. I have pressure. I have a headache. And just want this over. I have also had gas the last couple days sorry about tmi.

I'm 38 weeks and starting Primrose oil tonight. I'm 2cm, but no contractions worth talking about. Anybody else try the oil????

angel26

@ceegsmommy75 i have not tried it. But i am already 3cm & 60-70% effaced. Not sure what more it would do. Lol. @kristaf22 ya, it only made you go didn't it? When you tried epo were you effaced or dialated any?

momof22be

U can do nipple stimulation too

angel26

@momof22be i don't do that much cuz they have been so sensitive. And it bugs me when hubby messes with them. Lol.
@kristaf22 did you take them orally and put them up there? Or what did you do? I wonder if it would actually help push me into labor. Lol. Beings that im already more then half way effaced.

angel26

I am looking for your experiences. How did epo work for you? Im getting desperate for relief. Lol. I wanna see my baby. Lol.

I started epo at 35wks took 2 a day orally, at 36wks I upped it to 3 and now at 37wks I'm taking 4 a day.

I went to the Dr yesterday and was 50%effaced and 1.5cm dilated.

Idk if its because its my 2nd child or the epo but with my 1st child I was a week over due and still 0% & 0 dilated lol

angel26

Im assuming you were either nothing before taking it or you don't know. Correct? Lol. @pnsw524

jules

Well as of yesterday I'm at 1cm and 50% I wonder what the castrol oil will do for me? Cause her head is down but still kind of high. @kristaf22 what did it do for you? Cause I've already been taking the epo

angel26

@jules ya, I've even had a glimpse of thought to try that. But im terrified of it. Lol. I just wish i could get my water to break. Im so sick of contractions. Lol.

jules

It's scary I feel like it just makes everyone go to the bathroom like crazy I need something cause this baby likes it in there and if she goes a week over and they r ok to induce at that point which I don't know if they are than it will be christmas eve and I so don't want that. I really want to get this going.

jules

Ya I don't think I wanna do that.....someone else I remember doing herb of grace you just boil water and drink it I might try that I don't know of anyone who else tried it and if it does anything. @kristaf22

pnsw524

I was nothing!

angel26

Ya, i don't think i would like that. Lol. I just want this over.
